A very interesting note - that is fascinating that you can still pass on the canal beneath this piazza!

And what a wonderful photograph! Your composition is both classical and also very pleasing, the statue and the buildings all perfectly arranged within the frame and the stone (or iron?) pillar in the foreground really holding the whole composition together wonderfully.

This sounds so interesting.
Do tourists make the journey under the square? It will be quite an adventure.
I never got to Livorno when I was in Tuscany but loved Florence, Siena and Lucca.
This wide open square creates a sense of freedom.
You have composed the scene very well, the water fountain? anchoring the f/g and giving a diagonal lead to the focal statue, which then links nicely to the b/g statue. The whole has a good dof and is well saturated.

Hello Carlo,
A well composed photo of this square with several fine buildings on the far side and the impressive statue to the left. The vast emptiness of the large square could have ruined the composition, but you saved it very elegantly by including the drinking fountain (?) in the right corner. It fills the emptiness, is quite attractve on its own, and also balances the statue very well by creating an invisible diagonal between the corners of the picture. The brightness and colours are very appealing.
KInd regards,
Gert

Hi Carlo
its hard to resist a scene from Italy like this one.
the colors, the light, the wide open spaces, the history and charm can be seen in every building.
Really like this one
